What is your favorite thing to sew with knit fabric? I love those comfy fold over waist yoga skits, so I’m excited to get one started. And I can’t wait until I need a gift for a baby girl, because those stretchy bow headbands are super adorable. In the meantime I’ve started this dress, Simplicity 2443.

If you’re stumped about what to make, follow my pinterest board for sewing knit fabric for lots of ideas, patterns, techniques and tutorials! If you’re a little nervous about sewing with knit fabric, you’ll find some awesome pointers on the board as well.

Take a look at all the new knit fabric additions to the shop here. Which is your favorite?

Do you like free quilt patterns? Of course you do! Good thing too, because I have one for you! This free quilt pattern uses up all your small scraps and only one yard of a solid fabric (I used Pure Elements in White Linen) and makes a good throw sized quilt at 56″ x 56″. I recently shared this pattern with my newsletter readers. In fact, all future free quilt patterns will always go out in the newsletter before they ever hit the blog or the shop, so be sure to opt in so you don’t miss a thing!

Materials Needed

The name Postage Plus comes from the postage stamp style squares paired up with the plus-sign shaped negative space. There are 496 postage stamp squares, so you’ll definitely make a large dent in your scrap stash. But Kristan, what if I don’t have scraps? No problem! You can cut what you need from 9 fat quarters (or more if you’d like more variety). This option is also perfect if you’d prefer a more cohesive look or want to use up a bundle. I think this would look SO GOOD in Priory Square or Wild & Free, which both happen to have 9 prints and are available as bundles in the shop.

How to Get Your Free Quilt Pattern

Because this is a free quilt pattern, I have to ask that you please do not share the file either by printing it out and distributing or by emailing. If someone is interested, please direct them to this post or the download page in the shop so they can get their own. That’s less work for you anyways! As always, feel free to e-mail me with any questions you have, because I am always happy to help.

Fast shipping is one of the top 3 most important things at Stitcherie. Getting gorgeous modern fabric from my cutting mat to yours super fast truly is a top priority. Many of the five-star reviews on Etsy state “super fast shipping” as one of their praises. I’m so happy to know that people are smiling because I am committed to providing great customer service.

Fast Order Processing with No Extra Handling Fee

One of the reasons your order gets to you so fast is because your order is packed on the day it was placed. It is also usually shipped the same day. That doesn’t mean that I print a shipping label the day your place your order and then get around to shipping it a couple of days later. Not at Stitcherie. Your fabric is cut the day you order it, and depending on what time you place your order, it is usually at the post office that day as well. If not that day, then first thing the next morning. Save Sundays, of course, since USPS is not open on Sunday.

Processing time is officially “1-2 Business Days” because life happens. Stitcherie is a small family company without employees or helpers. Sometimes family members get sick or we take a day to enjoy each other’s company. But almost every order gets processed on the same day, and physically shipped within 24 hours, and without extra fees to make it happen. Because you’re a VIP, and VIPs get fast shipping without having to beg for it.

Fast Shipping Service Provider

Once your order is processed, it is turned over to USPS and shipped fast via their Priority Mail Service. One of the reasons I’m able to process your order so fast is because I only ship in flat-rate envelopes and boxes. This service allows me to be super efficient in my order packing process. With flat-rate shipping, I don’t have to weigh out each order as I cut it. This saves an amazing amount of time, which I pass to you in the form of the fast shipping that you deserve.

Packaging is free of charge courtesy of the United States Postal Service. Furthermore, Priority service comes with tracking included, which is great because who doesn’t like to stalk their happy mail, amiright? USPS states that Priority Mail takes only 1-3 business days to reach your mailbox in the US. International Priority Mail service is quoted at 6-10 business days at this time. Sure, First Class service is a little cheaper, but once you add in the tracking and a handling fee that covers weighing orders and the extra packaging, plus the weight of the average order of fabric that passes through Stitcherie, Priority Service can be more efficient for both your time and your money.

At present, I am happy to work with Stitcherie’s International customers on more economical shipping options on a case by case basis. Please e-mail me prior to placing your order to work out the details.

You Deserve Fast Shipping

Fast shipping is important at Stitcherie. I want you to enjoy your fabric before your inspiration wears off. I want you to smile because your fabric arrived faster than you expected. That’s the kind of customer service I am committed to giving you as a dear customer. You deserve fast shipping, and fast shipping is what you get when you order your fabric from Stitcherie.
